My paintings are predominantly inspired by themes of death, rebirth and the land in-between. Heavily influenced by Ancient Egypt and mythology stories from the ancient world. I wish to create a sense of the after life, and an arena of characters who might dwell there.
​
Each work goes through many transitional layers before arriving at a final conclusion. This working method directs the narrative and final outcome of each piece. Providing the opportunity for happy accidents to occur through the materials used.
​
Final works usually consist of contemplative characters, lost in thought, looking outwith the scene being presented to the viewer. Something has either happened or is about to happen. There is a sense of purpose. A story untold. Secrets unrevealed. As viewers we are interrupting a specific moment of the drama.
